What Causes Swollen And Tight Lymph Nodes And Radiating Pain In Jaws To Ears?
For about a week now I ve thought I was sick. I had a terrible sore throat and trouble breathing, as if I was congested. But as time has gone by I don t really feel sick anymore but I m still in a lot of pain. Myou lymph nodes seem swollen and tight, especially on the right side, and pain is radiating up my jaw all the way to my ear. I also have a horrible tooth ache on that side so I m not sure if that could be the cause?

Neck lymph nodes are usually enlarged due to local infection. These nodal swellings usually take time to resolve completely even after clearance of infection.
Advice
1. Azithromycin 500 mg orally daily for 5 days
2. Ibuprofen 600 mg per oral after meal if pain is unbearable. Otherwise avoid it
3. Gargle with chlorhexidine mouth wash daily 5 – 6 times daily
4. Avoid smoking, alcohol and cold
5. Investigations – ESR, CBC, and Hb%
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
